Tara Gold Gains Frankfurt Stock Exchange Listing

CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 23, 2006 -- (PINKSHEETS: TRGD) and (FRANKFURT: T8N) Tara
Gold Resources Corp. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that its shares
have been accepted for listing and is now trading on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange under the trading symbol "T8N" and the German Securities No. (WKN)
"A0JEFM."

Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., President of Tara Gold Resources, stated, "European
investors have shown an interest in Tara Gold due to our near-production
projects, with substantial exploration potential, where there is leverage
to rising commodity prices. We welcome our new shareholders and provide a
summary of our priority projects for their benefit."

Las Minitas: Historical work indicates three mineralized zones of interest
that contain a potential of 22 million tons of ore grading 20 oz/t silver
and 0.08 oz/t gold. Metallurgical testing indicates that 90% recoveries
may be achievable by cyanidation alone. An independent National Instrument
43-101 technical report has been commissioned.

Lluvia de Oro: The property includes one open pit mine, two heap leach pads
and a gold recovery plant. Historical information indicates that the mine
has an initial reserve of 4.6 million tonnes grading 0.82g Au/t or 121,000
ounces. Exploration drilling delineated an additional higher-grade resource
of approximately 4.5 million tonnes grading 0.95g Au/t along the same
structure. Tara Gold has optioned an 80% interest to Columbia Metals which
is developing a plan to re-initiate mining and production.

San Miguel Groupings: Historical drilling indicates a silver resource of 32
million ounces at a grade of close to 5 oz/t. There is excellent potential
to upgrade and expand this resource as initial indications are that this
resource is part of a 4,000 m continuous mineralization zone. Tara Gold has
given Paramount Gold an option to earn 70% interest. Paramount Gold is
currently conducting a trenching and drilling program at the property.

La Currita: The property includes 4 mines, a 150 ton/day operating
floatation mill and stockpiled ore. The mill is currently operating but
opportunity exists to increase processing capacity and re-start several
mines. Tara Gold is currently analyzing the implementation of a capital
improvement program to increase revenue generated.

La Estrella: Mineralized veins vary between 0.15 and 1.8 m and average 0.53
m in width over known strike length of 175 m underground. The average grade
of the mined zone has been 8.06 g/t gold and 715 g/t silver over a 900 m
strike length. This acquisition will be a key supplier of high grade ore to
the operating mill at La Currita.

La Millonaria: This property includes 4 concessions with formerly producing
gold mines. A study of the existing waste dump shows 27,000 tons of an
average gold grade of 9.7 g/ton and an average silver grade of 96.7 g/ton.
This property has the potential to generate cash flow in a relatively short
to intermediate timeframe.

Cautionary Note

In some cases, the tonnages, grades, assays, drill intercepts, production
figures and other technical data are taken from historical records prior to
the implementation of NI 43-101. While the data is believed to have been
acquired, processed and disclosed by persons believed to be technically
competent, it is unverifiable at present. Tara Gold is not treating the
historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as
defined in NI 43-101 and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
